Swim Tether Swim Belt Travel Pack for Pools and Spas

I’ve been a competitive swimmer for 60 years. I had seen this sort of thing before, but always scoffed at it. After considering buying a $30K swim spa, someone told me to try this. It’s absolutely great! With a swim spa you need to get in the sweet spot of the flow and swim at exactly the right speed or you bump into one of the ends. The tether is very forgiving in that regard and it’s a pretty good substitute for lap swimming, especially butterfly. I use it almost every day now.

My 15 year old is a competitive swimmer and their club lost access to their training pool due to COVID. Our neighbor was kind enough to allow them to use their in ground pool as an alternative. Three girls used these belts to share the pool and they work great. We put a rope across the width of the pool and used C-shaped clips to attach the belts to the rope. Works awesome and the girls are able to swim for 2 hours with no issues. We did add an additional bungee to some of the belts to stagger the girls in the pool. Just used a rubber exercise band which connected very easily.Wanted to post a picture but didn't see the option on this review page.

This works so well. I wanted to swim, but have a smaller pool. I was tired of paying money during the summer to swim at the club. So I put my membership on hold and used this every day. It works great for all strokes and is comfortable. I would just recommend putting the cord up high because once in a while when I had it low I would kick it. otherwise Love this!

With COVID-19 my pool has been closed. I swim almost 5 times every week for between 45min - 1 hour. It was months before I broke down and bought this to use in my backyard. I was skeptical. But, I am getting the same quality of workout as I was at my community pool. No commute to and from the pool. No worries about sharing a lane. The water temperature is always perfect. It has been a couple of weeks since I began using the swim tether, but I don't think I'm going back to my community pool when we are given the all clear. I did change up my strokes, but I am getting the same level of intensity and work out. I am shocked to say that I highly recommend this product. It is comfortable and appears to be well built.

My son is a year round swimmer and needed something to help him train during covid-19. This swim tether was the perfect thing for him! The plastic hook broke the first day he used it, so I contacted the seller. They were GREAT! Apologized and sent out a replacement rubber cord plus threw in a longer 8ft rubber cord! It arrived in 2 days! The new one has been ideal. Wonderful customer service! Thank you so much!!

I first scoffed at paying $50 for a bungee cord and a belt and felt I could make this. But I couldn’t. And this is awesome and life changing for a short pool! I wish I had know about such a contraption sooner. It really is awesome. You don’t need the more expensive one because this is perfect and comfortable and makes swimming laps possible.

I purchased a swim spa this past September and needed a tether to assist me with staying in the center of the swim spa lane. I bought a large eye bolt & fastened it to one of the rafters in the gazebo attached to my swim spa. I especially appreciate the Swim Tether when not using the 6 hp swim jets. Without the tether, it would not be possible to swim without turning on the jets. I am grateful to have learned of the Swim Tether when visiting a local spa & pool store.

I’m a lifelong swimmer - formerly competitively. I think if you are used to doing laps, this will be hard to get used to. I got this because my lap pool closed during the pandemic but I have a little pool at my house and was going to keep swimming with this belt. The sensation of not going anywhere and even the slight pulling backwards is so weird and I can’t get used to it. Others seem not to have an issue but when you’re used to feeling the water move past you, this does not produce the same sensation. I worry it could negatively impact you’re stroke if you’re trying to focus on form.
